            Abstract
            The presented volume aims to carry out a socio-cultural case study focusing on two abandoned Nubian villages in Upper Egypt, which are regarding their formation and abandonment closely connected with the construction of the British Dam south of Aswan and the following floods around 1900. Besides the documentation of architecture and associated find material, the special nature of the research strategy involved a close cooperation with the descendents of the village inhabitants and other Nubians still living in the sourroundings of the affected area.Through the interdisciplinary research strategy and the combination of a variety of methods in the fields of Archaeology, Building research and Social Anthropology, standard interpretations could be reflected upon, questioned and if necessary corrected, wherefore this study makes an important contribution to the discussion of cultural formation processes and their transformation into the archaeological record as well as bringing insights into the debate on context interpretation of material culture.
             
            Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich mit der materiellen Kultur zweier verlassener nubischer Dörfer in Oberägypten, deren Errichtung und Aufgabe eng mit dem Bau des britischen Dammes südlich von Aswan und den nachfolgenden Überflutungen um 1900 verbunden sind. Die Besonderheit der vorgestellten Projektkonzeption liegt jedoch neben der Dokumentation von Architektur und zugehörigem Fundinventar vor allem in der engen Zusammenarbeit mit den Nachkommen der Dorfbewohner und anderen Nubiern, die noch heute in der unmittelbaren Umgebung des betroffenen Gebietes leben und welche im Rahmen von sozialanthropologischen Feldstudien in das Projekt eingebunden waren. Durch die interdisziplinäre Methodenkombination wurden Standardinterpretationen hinterfragt, angepasst und korrigiert, wodurch diese Studie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Diskussion um kulturelle Formierungsprozesse und deren kulturhistorische Lesbarkeit und Interpretation darstellt.
